I Question the Timing of this Blog

OK, I've finally gone and done it. I've given in to the Dark Side, I've acquired my own blog. I'd toyed with the idea for a while, but a comment by ccwbass of Way Off Bass (originally, I attributed this comment incorrectly to Mud Blood and Beer), and the encouragement of Rusty over at MyPetJawa, finally sent me over the edge. So here I am.

This probably isn't going to be a political Blog, though I will post about politics from time to time. But I have so many other things that my fetid little melon likes to think about, I don't want to limit myself. So it'll probably all go in here -- my love of my home state, the joys and trials of being married to a redhead, our pending parenthood, owning a small dog thast thinks it's a great dane, cooking, baseball (Real Baseball, not that wussy AL "designated hitter" crap), being a gamer geek, Christianity, politics, anything that comes to mind.

Although I've acknowledged his influence, I'd like to once again take a moment to thank Rusty for his encouragement and friendship. without his Blog, this one probably wouldn't exist.

First they came for Logic, and I did not speak out, for I did not think logically. Then they came for Reason, and I did not speak out, for I did not think reasonably. Then they came for Thesis and Synthesis, and I did not speak out, for I did not think synthetically. Finally they came for me, and I could no longer think for myself.
